26 Survivor Camp and Determination (2/2)

Austin and the rest nodded and went into the Guards Quarters and prepared their beds, of course they didn't immediately went to sleep as their dinner hasn't been digested yet and only an hour later would they go to bed.

Leo seeing things are seemingly going fine smiled and look at his group, Josh who looks eager to do the night watch as he keep fidgeting standing there while holding a spiked bat he made earlier and a fire torch on the other hand while Tom in the other hand look bored and would yawn from time to time while looking around, holding a long wooden spear he made and a torch in the other.

”Alright, you guys should patrol along the walls and you already saw that there's pathway built on the wall, use it to patrol around the camp and kill any zombies if some of them managed to climb up but beware of mutated beast as we are in the middle of the forest, most of them probably wouldn't be able to ascend the walls but that doesn't mean others can't so blow the whistle I gave you if there's danger” Leo instructed from which they solemnly nodded.

”Alright, wait here and I'll give you guys something” Leo said and immediately ran at the back of the Guards Quarters and opened the System Interface and bought two 9mm CZ 75B pistol with +7 bullets for a thousand pound each. Leo then closed the system and went back to the two while holding both guns.

”Here, use it only in emergency and don't fire it unless necessary or the sound from it would get us in trouble. I will hand down punishment if anyone use it without reason especially you Josh” Leo said and berated Josh who looks eager to use it.

”Yes Boss” Josh said as he even saluted to show how serious he is.

Tom and John laughed and Tom added ”Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him”

John nodded and didn't forget to told them both ”Don't forget to patrol the house where the women are sleeping just to reassure that they are safe within this walls. They are after all women and would be a bit longer to adapt in this apocalypse, some of them might be like Mom but I'm sure the others aren't” Leo said, he already knows that some of the women are having paranoia when he would monitor the camp from the Systemespecially Laura, Amanda and Michelle probably because they saw how cruel the outside world is now, from seeing a living person just a few seconds ago then witnessing them being devoured and turning into a man eating undead, would at least leave a deep impression of fear into them. That's also the reason why all of them are sleeping together so that they will be able to sleep peacefully at night.

”Wait, are you not coming with us?” Josh suddenly asked as he noticed Leo's instruction are only for the two of them and him not included.

”I'm going back to the city and take care of something. That's the reason why I handed you those guns so that you will feel safe even without me” Leo waved as he jumped onto the wall and then remembered something ”Right, wake the 2nd group at 12 midnight and get some rest after that, don't forget to hand them the guns for them to use too, alright? Tell the rest that I'll probably back after sunrise tomorrow” after that he jumped down from the wall producing a dull sound as he landed on the ground with his Armor on and then he made a quick sweep around the walls killing the few zombies that made their way here before he dashed away towards the thickets.

On top of the walls and thanks to the moonlight that's able to still shine upon the world with how dense the smoke from earlier today, Tom and Josh was able see Leo killing the Zombies before he dashed away.

”Well, there he goes again” Josh said in a dejected tone.

”Why? Do you want to go with him?” Tom laughed a bit as he patted his back.

”Yeah, I want to be of help to him and not staying within the protection of these walls. Just thinking myself as a burden is making me uncomfortable. I really wish I was like Austin before who was a soldier who's far more useful with his set of skills” Josh clenched his fist while looking at where Leo disappeared to.

”Come on, don't think like that. We are doing the night duty here to keep this place and our family safe so we are at least not being a burden here and don't compare yourself to Austin, you two are different kinds of people” Tom smiled patting his shoulders but inside him, he also felt a pang of bitterness. After all, people around his age should be one holding the skies for the young people and not the other way around.

”Alright! First thing in the morning, I'll workout my body and train how to properly wield a weapon” Josh clenched his fist and his determination lit up.

”That's the spirit kid! Come on! Let's patrol around” Tom laughed heartily as he slapped his back and walked along the pathway on the wall while Josh hurriedly followed behind him.
